    They weren't released, there just free agents. Who ever wrote the article doesn't know squat about football.

    I'll admit I don't. What's the difference?

    I thought Peek deserved a chance to at least showcase his skills at DE, he's very athletic and has a good motor. Caper's 3-4 scheme really hid some of the talent.

    Gaffney was a decent 2nd option but nothing huge.

    Don't know much about Weaver but his numbers aren't very impressive.

    I'm not sure but it could be that their contracts were up and the Texans haven't renewed them, as opposed to letting them go with years still left on their contracts. They can still sign them again but would be bidding against other teams.

    According to HPF.com, Peek was given a first round tender, meaning that he'll either be a Texan or we'll get a first round pick for him. Also Dave Ragone and Seth Wand were given minimum tenders, so they'll either be back or we'll get third round picks.

    If we lose Gaffney, at least Andre can get the ball more.

    If this team desolves into a completely different team (not necessarily bad), why exactly did we keep Cass?

    huh???

    if we lose Gaffney, we lose the only #2 receiver option we have, however weak that might be. if we don't sign Givens, we won't have a #2 option even as good as Gaffney...the free agent market for receivers sucks and it's a down year for receivers in the draft.

    AJ was keyed on all season long. he was taken away because there wasn't another option to open him up.

    of course, after we draft bush we'll have the greatest RB and WR in one of all time. he'll make Gale Sayers shudder.

    That doesn't mean that there aren't potential trades out there for WR's. Also, who's to say that they won't re-sign Gaffney at a more reasonable price.

    "Houston has 20 players classified as both unrestricted free agents and restricted free agents at this time, including names such as RB Jonathan Wells , and WR Jabar Gaffney."

    No where does it say those guy have been actively released (meaning the Texans have no interest in them or just let them go for nada). You guys should really read more carefully.

    1. possible...but there arent just a ton of trades made in the NFL

    2. possible...they might. and that would be good. but that's completely outside of the entire post i was responding to and my response, itself. he assumed if we lost Gaffney it would be a good thing for AJ. if we replace him with someone better, it likely would. but there's not a ton of WR's floating around this offseason. and, as i said, the draft looks pretty weak on WR's.
